By George Dodson


As you fall in love of out-of doors I am sure that you want a cabin in the wood. I must praise you boss. I recognize your identity. You are the one who carries the tradition. You can still get tiny fun though there has no idea to develop your cabin; because, it is a continual process.

It's not only the plan for today but it is the planning related to your future. Firstly I suggest you not to be hurried. It is not a matter that when we can finish. You must be wise in case of planning. Before starting your construction you should take a summer trip on the area.

Follow the main rules of construction By following some very common but basic rules even a man without an experience can build a cabin if he accepts a general idea about the uses of working tools.

* To become warm in your cabin you must set your foundation under the mist level.

* The basement of your cabin is preferred to be pure squared and leveled. This strategy will ensure you avoid endless problem at the time of building development.

* You should be honest about the measuring leveling and clearing the cabin square. You should avoid guess in this case.

* If you use the sharp tools, I guarantee you that, you can finish your work relatively short time.

* Your cabin should be thoroughly drained.

Don't use your memory dear. Stick to your plan and you must succeed.

LOGS FOR YOUR CABIN It is preferable to use soft wood instead of tough wood if you are a beginner. You can use bass' hemlock, pine in this role. For being unstable you should not use the Oak tree unless you are not thoroughly familiar with it.

You doors and windows Build your windows on the basis of thickness of your cabin logs. For moving forward and backward easily you should set up stripes both inside and out side of a window. You should be confirmed around the little openings on the both sides in the gables of your cabin. It is helpful for the easy movement of air. It is convenient to build your door-frames out of two inch by six inch or two inch by eight inch lumber and to fit the door set up strips inside the door-jamb.

DRAINAGE AND GRADING Selecting a marshy spot for your cabin building is not supported at all.Various problem can arise for those like wet floor dampness etc. Even you can suffer from rheumatism and many other diseases.

A high place that pitches city from your cabin should be selected first. Your cabin will remain free from rain and more specifically from melting snow. You will not amendment the rule if you would like a dry cabin.

Filling gaps between logs It is chinking which is very important for a clean warm and dry cabin. Heavy cares is must for the completion thus. It is important to desiccate the logs completely.

Lamps, Lighting and Illumination At the recent time our life cannot be imagined without electricity that's why kerosene lamp is a luxury. Kerosene lamps give dancing shadows just like candles. Candles and kerosene lamps are part and parcel of a log cabin.

The water Shower bath is must for summer camp. You are able to put up the system of cold and hot water at very reasonable cost.

SEPTIC It is not so tough to introduce septic system in your cabin. But the fact is that you can not happy with it. Some other kind of odor is discharged from it. You should install this type of toilet fifty to one hundred feet away from your cabin.

Furniture You can place rustic furniture in your own cabin. It will give the home like appearance to your comment.

Emergency entrance There is nothing could be more disappointing than to reach at your winter cabin after a long walking, cold and a bit wet, to find you have forgotten to bring the keys. This is the solution of your weakness dear. Through this system you will find relief.

SKY LIGHT A skylight in the roof is an alternative way to recover the deficiency of light on a dreary day. The other advantage is that this system will expel the hot air.

Some foliage It's your cabin. You are free to create a forest as you desire. It will grow by the breaking of the day. The time is for planting just now. one or two-year-old seedlings are relatively cheap.

Bird's tune around your cabin Birds are ready to sing for you if you give them shelter. Give them a shelter; feed them regularly, they will sing and it will refresh yourself.

GATEWAYS, GUARD RAILS AND FENCES Once you shut the gate after passing through it, you are alone in your cabin. A closed gate protect your seclusion.

Friendly environment It is very difficult for you to live without a friend. It is nature which is the only one place in universe that produces friendliness.
